However, it was reported that the skincare company had outstanding tax returns and owed money to the South African Revenue Service (SARS). Minnie had to come make things clear as during her interview with YouTuber Nono D on Tuesday 20 September, she revealed that the company had to be liquidated.

“Things happen, you work with people…Doesn’t always end well. But yeah, it was a great learning curve for me and with everything that happens in life, I always say that it is a learning curve and an opportunity to learn how to do things better,” she explained.

Media personality Minnie Dlamini’s skincare range of products seems to have disappeared into thin air after hitting the shelves three years ago.

It hs come to light that Modi Dlamini Marketing, the company responsible for the production of her product range, MD by Minnie Dlamini, had outstanding annual tax returns for the third time since it was registered in 2016. However, it was not clear how much she owed the SA Revenue Service (Sars).

The skincare range was being sold for as little as R5 an item during a clearance sale at Shoprite last year, before it disappeared from the shelves. Its Instagram account and website have been deleted and nothing has been posted on its Facebook and Twitter pages in more than a year.

MD by Minnie Dlamini was launched in June 2019 and boasted eviolin-enriched body lotions, soaps and body washes in three variants – cocoa crystal, rose quartz and tropical topaz. They were sold at Shoprite, Checkers and Clicks stores for between R15 and R39 an item. A collaborative effort with Zeta Laboratories under Modi Dlamini Marketing, the company was formed with one of Modi Laboratories’ directors in 2016.

A company background search report, revealed that Dlamini’s company, which was registered as a new private entity, is currently active in business after it was almost deregistered in 2018 and again in 2020 for not submitting annual tax returns.

Dlamini received numerous emails before the company was flagged for deregistration due to noncompliance with Sars regulations. A note under its online profile stated that it was in the process of deregistration because of “annual [tax] return noncompliance and no payment had been made”.

Following the launch of her products, Dlamini received social media backlash after she was quoted in Destiny magazine as saying she had received a R10 million grant from the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) to cover the start-up costs.

She said the projections showed that the range could make that money back within a year.

“Our engagements with the IDC were pretty painless because my partner’s been dealing with them for a long time. So, it was just a case of creating a new joint company for a deal,” she told the magazine at the time.

But after social media users complained that she had received preferential treatment from the IDC due to her proximity to powerful individuals, she released a statement saying the grant was a loan that she had to repay.

“In my Destiny [magazine] cover [story], I was quoted saying I received a grant from the IDC for my new business. I, in fact, applied for a loan payable with interest, which is still pending due to the error. My apologies for any confusion caused. For the record, the mistake was entirely mine and I apologise further,” she tweeted.

The IDC also released a statement saying that the media personality had not received any funding from it. This prompted an investigation by the Public Protector’s office after a social media user lodged a complaint.

This week, Oupa Segalwe, spokesperson for the Public Protector, said the investigation ended the same year: “The investigation was closed in February 2019 after several attempts to secure a meeting with the complainant failed. At the consultation meeting, the complainant was expected to provide the Public Protector with information pointing to any wrongdoing on the part of the IDC.

“The complainant had indicated that she based her complaint on a tweet. Some form of evidence of wrongdoing is required before an investigation can be carried out.

“The absence of such information and the unavailability of the complainant to consult with the investigators on such issues leads to the closure of matters,” Segalwe said.

IDC spokesperson Tshepo Ramodibe said that Dlamini’s company was never granted a loan or a grant.

Ramodibe said:
Ms Minnie Dlamini has never been a client of the IDC. A company she was associated with approached the IDC for funding in 2018. Following preliminary engagements with the applicant, the IDC did not grant the said business any funds.

By the time of going to print, Dlamini had not responded to a request for a comment.

Mzansi has taken to social media in numbers to call on sports channels to consider employing soccer legend Portia Modise. Many of them pointed out that media personalities like Anele Mdoda and Minnie Dlamini should not be hosting sports shoes while experienced soccer stars like Portia Modise are jobless.

Some people suggested that the former Banyana Banyana player start her own podcast and rather find success for herself.

South African soccer legend Portia Modise recently spoke out about how women in soccer are often treated unfairly compared to men.

Calls for Anele Mdoda and Minnie Dlamini to be fired & Portia Modise hired

“I still maintain that female footballers are ill-treated and underpaid compared to the men and that’s a fact.”

After her interview with Drum Magazine, many South Africans started discussing her career and how unfair it is that she isn’t hosting a sports show.

Taking to Twitter controversial user @chrisexcel wrote:

“The fact that Anele Mdoda and Minnie Dlamini are working for supersport telling us about sport but Portia Modise is unemployed doesn’t sit well for me.”

The post went viral as many South Africans headed to the comment section to share their thoughts.

While some tagged SuperSport and asked them to consider hiring Portia Modise, others beckoned the soccer legend to start her own thing.

Read some of their comments below:

@frankshameless wrote: “How does the record goal scorer in African football have no job in sporting channels while people who never kicked any kind of ball or did any sports are employed there, igqe ine power bafethu”

@dali_afrika noted: “Maybe she needs to do a MacG and start her own uncensored soccer podcast. Imagine if she teamed up with Junior Khanye with Betway as a sponsor. Sometimes if they don’t want you, you should create your own path.”

She cheated with another man – New details emerge on why Quinton Jones divorced Minnie Dlamini, He finally speaks out

She cheated with another man – New details emerge on why Quinton Jones divorced Minnie Dlamini, He finally speaks out

She cheated with another man – New details emerge on why Quinton Jones divorced Minnie Dlamini, He finally speaks out

When they first announced their divorce in February, Minnie Dlamini and Quinton Jones insisted that they will “remain friends and business partners” despite their split.

However, the unfolding story behind the divorce has taken a new shift after the American former professional football player, Quinton Jones, dropped a bombshell on why he divorced his estranged wife, television presenter, and model, Minnie Dlamini.

Minnie and Quinton announced their divorce in February 2022 in a joint statement, ambiguously citing “changes in motion, emotional burden and post-traumatic distress of our individual loss” as the reason for parting. The celebrity couple had been married for four and half years after walking down the aisle on July 8, 2017.

“In the last 2 years, our family has experienced incredible joy and devastating loss. During this time, we found comfort in knowing we had each other.”

Following the seemingly peaceful breakup, Minnie alleged that the reason why they fell out of love with each other had nothing to do with cheating after a local publication had published a story in that regard. Interestingly, Quinton has made it known that she was not truthful.

Quinton Jones confirmed that Minnie Dlamini cheated, prompting their marriage to collapse, according to a celebrity gossip blogger.

Musa Khawula says that Quinton has confirmed that Minnie’s infidelity is the main reason for their marriage to collapse.

Musa wrote: “Quinton Jones confirms that Minnie Dlamini’s infidelity is the main reason for their marriage to collapse. Minnie Dlamini said the reason for their marriage to fail was because they fell out of love with each other but according to Quinton Jones she had hoed herself.”

Shockingly this week, the husband amended his particulars of claim in the court papers. He stated their marriage ended because the former Metro FM presenter was involved in an extra-marital affair. He did not name the man who cuckolded him.

Minnie Dlamini’s cheating partner is rumoured to be Edwin Sodi who is famously known as a flamboyant SA businessman. Quinton is said to have caught Minnie cheating with another man and he’s also stopped his business partnership with her following the announcement of their divorce.

Hours later, it was revealed on Twitter that the broadcaster was cheating with Sodi and she flexed his private jet many times.

“Rumour has it Edwin Sodi and Minnie Dlamini kept their spark alight whilst Dlamini-Jones was married. It is also said, that his private jet was put to good use entertaining Minnie Dlamini and her friends,” Musa Khawula wrote on his Twitter account at the time.

The cheating rumour triggered lots of netizens who have in turn cancelled Minnie and even slut-shamed her for destroying her beautiful home.

In May this year, three months after breaking up, Minnie Dlamini finally broke her silence and said Mzansi should let them deal with their situation privately, despite the fact that they are the ones who, in the first place, had told South Africa that they had parted ways.

“We kindly ask that you allow us to go through our private processes without dragging ourselves, our families, and our loved ones into baseless rumours and social media sensationalism. These baseless rumours affect not only us, but our child,” a statement that Minnie said was a joint statement between her and her estranged husband read.

Slik Talk, who could be one of the legal parties mentioned also joined the conversation.

“So I heard that Minnie Dlamini is actually the one who cheated on her simp husband and her simp husband is the one who filed for divorce. I can’t say I’m surprised. Minnie Dlamini in her heyday was a solid Joburg 10, one of the hottest women on African soil.

“Currently, she is a Gomora six, let’s call her what it is. Nobody is checking her, she is not as bad as she used to be. The fact that she cheated on this man after spending all of his money is actually despicable.”

Following the divorce, Celeb Gossip News also learnt that Minnie Dlamini was refusing to sign divorce papers, supposedly to fix Quinton who reportedly quickly moved on and is already being seen seemingly romantically entertaining another woman.

Since nearly a month after the shock divorce announcement was made, Quinton Jones has been spotted with an unknown woman at a nightclub in Sandton, Johannesburg, who is believed to be his new girlfriend.

Quinton Jones, who is now a businessman and television producer, was spotted two weeks after their break-up with Minnie at Orthodox Lounge in Johannesburg with some friends, but it seems there was more to the night than just casual drinks.

Although the estranged couple would portray in public, through joint-statements, that they remain friends and business partners, however, the reality on the ground suggests otherwise. Business partnership between Minnie Dlamini and Quinton Jones has continuously crumbled from the time their much-publicised separation was made public.

“Despite the end of our marriage and romantic relationship, we remain friends, business partners and loving parents to our beautiful son,” Minnie, a former Metro FM presenter, said in a statement, but this appears not to be very true.

Source close to the former couple said Jones changed his mind about the partnership and informed Minnie Dlamini that he had taken a decision to resign from their company, Beautiful Day Production. Jones, said a source, owns a 25% stake while Dlamini owns the rest of the shares in the company that produces television shows, among others.

The deep throat said Quinton Jones told Minnie Dlamini he will also give her their house in Midrand where she will raise their child.

“Remember, they were married by antenuptial contract, which is subject to accrual system,” a mole told us.

The two released an official statement on social media, revealing that their marriage has been dissolved.
“In the last 2 years, our family has experienced incredible joy and devastating loss. During this time, we found comfort in knowing we had each other.

Everything OK between Minnie Dlamini and Shauwn Mkhize – VIDEO

A video Shauwn Mkhize posted last week sparked a wide debate on whether there is any bad blood between her and Minnie Dlamini. The businesswoman and soccer club owner was partying with her son Andile Mpisane at Ntosifiso Garden in Kwaggafontein, Mpumalanga. They were accompanied with a heavy security presence.

She shared a video highlighting what went down that night and in it, we can see Shauwn partying with socialite Kefilwe Mabote, Pearl Thusi, and others to enjoy a homecoming hosted by Bafana Sindane.

Pearl Thusi then hugged Shauwn and excitedly admired her outfit but Minnie Dlamini gave Shauwn a very b*tchy look and this had her followers wondering what was up.

But, Minnie Dlamini quickly poured water to these rumours and shared a hilarious video tagging Shauwn Mkhize in it. In the video the man cautions people who are dating from the Dlamini and Mkhize clan, to stop playing with their lives. The man then cries showing that he is not for dating the people from those tribes.
Minnie tagged Shauwn and asked her ‘what is this person saying?’ then Shauwn laughed and said, “Hayinoboooo this person is playing with us, we are zulu girls and very sweet.”

There you have it folks, there is no bad blood between Minnie and Shauwn.

Mzansi businesswoman Shauwn Mkhize and her son Andile Mpisane were partying it up this past weekend at Ntosifiso Garden in Kwaggafontein, Mpumalanga. She was joined by socialite Kefilwe Mabote and others to enjoy a homecoming hosted by Bafana Sindane.

Sharing what went down during the party, she posted a short video clip highlighting the entire night. We see her dancing and drinking the night away with her entourage and also hugging Pearl Thusi who was with Minnie Dlamini.

Her followers noticed how hostile Minnie’s face was when Shauwn was talking to Pearl. Mama Panther showed excitement when talking to Pearl, but Minnie’s reaction was rather, awkward.

Captioning her video, Shauwn wrote; “This is how I wrapped up the weekend. Bafana, thank you for inviting me to your son’s homecoming to not only witness his coming of age but also present him with a car that you bought for him. What a special gesture.
“The genuine love and support I received was nothing short of amazing. Thank you Mpumalanga we had plenty of fun but now it’s time to get back on the grind,” she finished off.
